But in terms of accessibility, it's pretty good. In fact, I might start playing again--at least it's sci-fi. We are working on ships and space areas. Today only the immortals can fly them but that will change. A ship in Wormhole is like a mini-area that you can explore complete with mobs and objects. The ships can be armed today but we still need to figure how to get ship to ship combat to work. First step will propably to replace some of the teleporters with ships so that you can fly between different areas. Check http://wormhole.se/index.php/Current_events for more info.

[Audyssey] USA Games News
USA Games News 11/9/2006 Introduction Hello gamers, I know many of you are no doubt wondering what is happening with USA Games, how progress is going both in my personal and professional life. I intend to give a full progress report here on our projects, plans, and updates. As many of you know allot is going on in my personal life. For example, my wife and I are attempting to relocate, but haven't yet found anything that looks promising as far as our future housing. In addition, my wife has taken on some day classes to improve her education, and that has left me in charge of watching my two year old son for a larger amount of the day. The end result both activities has reduced my time to join in list discussions, and even less time to spend on USA Games ongoing development projects. Never-the-less work is still going forward, but at a much slower and reduced rate. General News Before I get into the news about our titles I would like to share some general news of what we at USA Games are doing to help speed up development time. In fact, we feel this will probably become our primary method or mode of development in the future. A couple of months back a woman brought in a laptop for my dad to repair. It was an Averatec 6200 notebook computer which was a 2004/2005 mottle. Pretty current all things considered. Apparently the woman's son had dropped the laptop breaking the 15 inch wide-screen display, and not to mention her family had totally trashed the Windows XP install. Well, after finding out how much it would cost to fully repair the laptop she decided to sell it to me for a fraction of what it was worth in working order, and went out and purchased a new system. Fine by me since I am able to repair the notebook myself saving myself huge savings in the process. Over this past week I have reformated the notebooks drive, installed Windows XP Pro, acquired the official drivers cd from Averatec for this laptop, and purchased some used parts off of Ebay to repair the laptop with. When done this laptop will become my portible development station for working on USA Games projects. Not to mention all the extras this system has. Here is a look at the laptop when it is fully restored to working order. My new laptop is an Averatec 6200 series notebook. It has a 2.4 Athelon XP processor, 512 MB ram, 60 GB hard drive, four USB 2.0 ports, 56K modem, both a wireless and standard network card, a dvd/cd burner, a firewire port, a touchpad, AC97 audio, and of course a 15 inch wide-screen display. One of the really cool things about this laptop is that there are buttons on the front of the unit which allows you to play dvd movies directly in the computer as a portable dvd movie player without having to boot in to Windows XP. Simply press eject on the drive, insert dvd, put it in, push play on the front of the unit and you have a 15 inch wide-screen portible dvd player. Pretty slick. In addition, to the hardware I am upgrading the software on the system mainly to my own personal taistes. The unit came with Windows XP Home, but I am putting on Windows XP Pro instead with service pack 2. I Am also placing on there Visual Studeo .NET 2005, Window Eyes 5.5, Microsoft Office, Goldwave 5, Quicken 2006, Nero 6, and will be multibooting the system with Ubuntu Linux 6.10. All and all once I am done reparing and restoring the system back in to working order this laptop is going to be my primary development computer. I have two other computers besides this new laptop, but my old laptop is starting to show it's age. I have given that one to my wife to use for her photos, games, and whatever and will use my new laptop for work and play. My desktop system is pretty close to the specs of the new laptop, but unfortunately it isn't very portible. I often used my desktop, since it was the better computer, for working on USA Games stuff, but I am away from home so much I never had the stuff with me when I was away. Now, with a laptop equal, and actually better than my desktop PC I can take all the USA Games projects, real work, games, and anything else along wherever I go. Asteroids News As most of you know a couple of weeks ago I mentioned beginning an open source Asteroids project written in C#.NET to teach gamers the art of game programming using a classic Atari game as an example. This project is doing quite well. I have been working on a sample engine framework for the game in which all of you can use in your future game titles. In fact, I may use the new framework myself as I made sure to do strict error checking, and I am taking pains to be careful and debug the framework so that those of you newbies won't make to many mistakes based on my own blunders and or errors. As result the new classes I wrote for the Asteroids game are better than my own framework files which I wrote a long long time ago without going back and making the changes I am doing now for

Re: [Audyssey] How to talk to librarian
Hello. Please excuse me if I'm interupting a private discussion (I'm not yet certain how this hole mailing list business works), but I guess your refferring to the puzle in Chillingham? If i remember rightly, You need to give the librarian the book on hermiting in exchange for the organ repare manual. To get the book: 1: fill the bottle from Lilly's house with water from the swamp to get the item Bottle of water 2: Use the flower from beside the stone marker at the fork in the road with the bottle to get the item bottle of perfume 3: use the perfume on Bill the Hermit, then prove to him you understand his problem by completing the sneezing simon minigame, and he'll give you the book on hermiting. I'm sorry if I'm interupting a discussion here, but i hope this helps. All the best, dark empathy. - Original Message - From: Chris Reagan [EMAIL PROTECTED] To: Gamers Discussion list gamers@audyssey.org Sent: Thursday, November 09, 2006 6:10 PM Subject: [Audyssey] How to talk to librarian Hi there Okay I've got the key for the organ, but when I go to the library to talk to the librarian and turn in the rain dancing book in exchange for the manual.

Re: [Audyssey] USA Games News
Hey Thomas, well I hope everything is working out for you, it sounds as if it is working pretty good. Great job picking up that lap top, I know mine has saved many times with homework due in a short period of time when traveling. Where are you doing the asteroids tutorial? I don't think it is on the Ag-newbies, because I haven't gotten an e-mail from there in a long time. But anyways man, TTYL BEAN ___ Gamers mailing list ..

Re: [Audyssey] How to talk to librarian
Hi, and thanks. I actually found and subscribed to the audeasy list fromAsmodean.net, where i was listening to several of your gameplay recordings (congrats on the Pipe2 games, some of those scores are really! impressive). This is really the first mailing list I've subscribed to that actually involved discussion rather than just passing around announcements, so i'm not yet certain of the Etiquette, but hopefully I should pick things up soon. Thanks for letting me know about the archive, I'll go and have a look. All the best, dark empathy aka Luke Hewitt. Ps: As other people seem to be using real names rather than web handles, it only seems fair I use mine. - Original Message - From: Raul A.
